In-Depth Information
Once an
rman
session is started (
A
) the retention policy is displayed (
B
) as well as
the backup summary information (
C
). The test backup is performed against each
backupset. The outcome from the first backup test shows the message
starting
validation
of
datafile
backupset
(
D
).
rman
will read the backupset and will simulate
a database restore operation. Once the process is finished it shows the
validation
complete
(
E
) message. This means the backup is sound, and it is considered valid for
recovery purposes. The complete test for each backupset is not shown in the image,
but it is enough to replace the tag name in the restore command.
